"Post some links or STFU"
A little Valium might help ya. EEE, this thread posting just shows what most of have been saying, liberals love Ron Paul. They do not view him as a conservative but as someone that will surrender to al Qaeda in Iraq and retreat from the WOT.
I have read twice now where you posted you were going to back off from the Paul threads and not post as much on them. Like any addiction it is tough to refrain from something you enjoy or believe in. With me, it is Coca Cola. I try not to drink it anymore but every now and then I need a fix.

How can he be a libertarian if he supports commies like Hitlery, Obama and Edwards?
No way.
To: Extremely Extreme Extremist
"Get back to me if the money came from an anti-war leftist group, PAC or shady foreigners." So taking money from Extremely Extreme leftist like Manilow is OK, as long as Ron Paul doesn't take money from "anti-war leftist group, PAC or shady foreigners"?
I know what to expect from you guys as soon as Paul takes money from "anti-war leftist group, PAC or shady foreigners".
It will be yet another whopper of an excuse.

"Liberal whack-jobs and neo-Nazis probably donated to Bush/Cheney too." Post some proof, or continue to be embarrassed by your own contradicting statements on this very thread.

Youre an unpleasant person. You make unsubstantiated accusations but then expect posters to be nice to you? If you gonna come here and debate then you better bring it, because there ain't no little kids posting here as far as I'm concerned.

Must be one of those “military” donations (maybe he once wore a WAC uniform).
To: jrooney
I don't give a rip if individual liberals donates to Paul, it merely means they agree with his some of his views and shouldn't be construed that Paul somehow supports THEIR left-wing agenda. That's also less money going to the Rat candidates.
Paul has no control over individuals who support him. You guys, seriously are making this into something that it's not. Lots of whack-jobs donate money to their favorite candidate. BFD.

You’re the one who made the unsubstantiated allegations, pal. It’s up to you to prove it. I just called you out on it.

"but why did he give money to Edwards." Cause he likes women who remind him of his mother.

BTW, your tagline is spot on. HRC takes the title. Scary stuff indeed.

You have no idea who is supporting Paul, and I guarantee you it isn't the kook anti-war leftists.I know for a fact that Paulestinians have been recruiting from Moveon.org and Code Pink. You were on those threads where it was discussed so please don't act like you don't know anything about it.

"Where is his donation to Dennis Kucinich?" He thought he was donating to Kucinich when he donated to Kerry.

“Barry goes both ways?”
That does not answer my question.
I try again:
Someone help me out.
What is the purpose of contributing to each of three
competing candidates?
This seems to be a common practice.
The covering all bases excuse does not wash with me.

Post some proof, or continue to be embarrassed by your own contradicting statements on this very thread. It's a likely scenario. You don't know for sure what kind of individuals people are unless you greeted them at the voting booth yourself. You are making a correlation by causation fallacy. Prissy Manilow donates to Paul, ergo, RON PAUL IS A LEFT-WING KOOK! I'll bet lots of unsavory characters donated/voted for Bush/Cheney; they just don't know about it. And again that doesn't mean Bush/Cheney support their views.

Maybe The View they could give Elizabeth the day off and have Ron Paul sit in to interview Barry Manilow.
